Another amazing chapter. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Anyway, in the
coming chapter, they are sitting in a circle for the first part. Their
placement is crucial. So, here goes. First comes Draco, then on his left
Hermione, then Ginny, then Harry, then Blaise, then Seamus, then Lavender,
and finally, Parvati. OK? Cool. Oh yeah, and for Blaise, think a younger
version of Colin Farrell with Gregory Smith's voice. Alright? Thanks. Read
on. Oh and P.S. in this part, the story gets very dramatic, just to
forewarn you, Ok? Ok. Now on to Chapter 4.
**JUST ADDED** To the reviewer that said that they had never read a story where they shared a room with the prefects, I recommend that you read The Wrong Person at the Right Time by sweet-soph. It's really awesome and one of my favorite fics, and it has them living with the prefects. Don't want to give anything away, so go read it and find out for yourself.
And to fartley, I actually used one of your ideas. Aren't you proud of me? Hehehe. Thank you. You just made my story 10 times better, thanks again.**END OF JUST ADDED SEGMENT**
** and another thing. NEW STUFF ADDED AT THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE BOTTOM. PLEASE READ. THANK YOU.**

"So... what are we going to do?" Ginny asked.
"Oooh. I know, let's play truth or dare!" Parvati exclaimed. The others murmured their agreement.
"Alright, I'll go first. Lavender, truth or dare?" Parvati asked.
"Hmmm... dare!" Parvati leaned over and whispered something in Lavender's ear. When she stopped, Lavender asked, "Why?"
"Just do it," Parvati said.
"Fine." With that, Lavender grabbed Seamus's head and pulled his lips down to hers. When they broke apart, Lavender said, "Happy now?"
"Very," Parvati replied. Seamus just sat there, flabbergasted.
"Ok, my turn," Lavender said, "Blaise, truth or dare?"
"Alright, sorry to interrupt, but can all stuff be said aloud now please?" said Seamus, finally regaining his composure. The others all agreed.
"Sure," Lavender said. "Blaise?"
"Truth,"
"Okay. Come here. Give me a good one people." Parvati leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Lavender giggled. "Wouldn't you like to know." She said. "Ok, what's the most you've ever done with a girl?"
"And you want the truth?" Blaise said. Lavender nodded. "Ok, well, the truth is, the most I've ever done with a girl is make out with her."
"Ok, if you say so."
"I say so. OK, my turn. Draco, truth or dare?"
"Dare,"
"Ok. I dare you... to kiss Hermione." When he said this, Draco's eyes widened and Hermione's jaw dropped. "Fro at least 30 seconds."
"30 seconds!" said two very angry voices.
"Blaise, are you out of your mind? That's-"Hermione said, jumping to her feet, but was cut off by Draco who had jumped to his feet also.
"My gosh, let's just get it over with. They're just going to make us do it anyways." He said. He then put his hand out to her cheek, leaned in, and kissed her. 'Wow, this isn't that bad.' He thought, which kind of weirded him out. What also weirded him out was that Hermione was kissing him back.
When the time was up, they both reluctantly let go, Hermione with a very confused look on her face. She shot Blaise a look that said, I need to talk to you when we're done, and then she sat back down. Blaise gave an almost imperceptible nod and sat down also, as he had been standing also to get a better view.
As soon as Draco sat down, Ginny yawned and said "I'm tired. Let's go to bed." The others murmured agreement and started walking to their rooms.
~*~*~*~*Hermione's POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione waited until everyone but Blaise was gone until she spoke, "What were you thinking?" she asked.
"I was thinking that we were playing a game of truth or dare. Come on Hermione, I was just having a little fun."
"I know that. But the problem is that I actually felt something when we kissed."
"Oh."
"What am I going to do Blaise?"
"Well, what I would do is just let nature take it's course. What happens will happen. There's a reason for everything, so just let things go. Ok?"
"Thanks Blaise, you really put it in perspective for me," Hermione said, and she hugged him. "I'd love to stay and talk, but for right now, I'm going to bed. Goodnight."
"Night," said Blaise, and they walked to their rooms to go to bed.
~*~*~*~*Draco's POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Draco got to the Head's common room, which was just like the main common room, except there were different books and less chairs, he saw an owl tapping at the window. He didn't recognize the owl, but, curious, he took the letter from it anyways.
He was surprised to find that it had his name on the front of the envelope, but there was no return address. Curious, he opened it, and this is what it said:
"You may think I'm gone, but I'm not, and I know everything. You are a disgrace to my family. I know you missed me, but don't worry. Daddy will be home soon."
Draco staggered back onto one of the couches, and closed his eyes, willing the dreadful letter to go away. But when he opened them again, it was still there, dooming him to a life of paranoia until his father's whereabouts were known.
~*~*~*~*Normal POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco was still sitting there, in the common room, in shock, with the letter in his hand, when Hermione found him a few minutes later.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, sitting next to him on the couch. In silence, he handed the letter over to her. She read through it, her eyes widening. "Oh my gosh," she whispered. She looked over at Draco. There were the beginnings of tears at the corners of his eyes. Hermione reached out to touch his arm, and she was consumed by a vision.
~*~*~*~*Vision~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco was walking through the woods, following the voices that could be heard ahead. Suddenly he stopped, crouching behind a bush. His father could be seen, a cloaked figure standing before him. Voldemort. "You are not worthy of being the Dark Lord," Lucius said. "I should be the Dark Lord, so I can rule forever."
Voldemort looked stunned. "How dare you!" he exclaimed. "You betrayed me!" He shot his hand out, and a green light flew from it, straight at Lucius.
"no, No, NO-o-o-o.!!" Lucius' screams were drowned out as his lifeless body slumped to the ground. Draco covered his mouth, tears springing to his eyes. As much as he hated his father, he couldn't bare to see him be murdered like that. It was right then and there that Draco vowed never to serve the Dark Lord.
But the sight in front of Draco was worse than anything that Draco had ever experienced in his life. Voldemort was standing there, his hands suspended over Lucius' body, appearing to suck all of the power out of him. He seemed to be getting stronger by the minute. Now he was testing out his newfound strength. "Nice," he said in a surprisingly confident voice. Then he left the forest from the opposite direction that Draco had come from.
~*~*~*~*End Vision~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh my gosh," Hermione said, tears coming to her eyes.
Draco looked over at her, startled. "You saw it too?" he asked.
Hermione nodded. She was crying now. "How could you stand seeing that and not telling anyone but your mother?" she asked. She didn't know how she knew that he only told his mother, or when he made that vow never to serve the Dark Lord, or how she had even tapped into the vision in the first place, but she intended to find out, while doing anything she could to help in the meantime.
"How did you know that?" Draco asked.
"I-I don't know," Hermione replied. "It just came to me. Like the vision."
"Oh," Draco said. Hermione looked at him.
"You should talk to Professor Dumbledore," she said. "See what he has to say."
"Yes, I probably should, but not tonight. Possibly tomorrow though. We don't have classes, so it's the perfect opportunity."
"I have to go down there too," Hermione said. "I'll walk with you."
"Ok. We should probably get going to bed then. Goodnight."
"Goodnight," Hermione said as she and Draco walked to their respective rooms to get some much needed sleep.

Yay, another miraculous chapter completed. Oh, and a little note to sweet- soph, the truth or dare scene is dedicated to and all credit given to you. Thanks. Your story is coming along wonderfully. I hoped that you guys liked this chapter.
And question for all of my readers. Draco and Hermione, at the beginning of the ball will share a dance, with just the two of them. What should their song be. Here are your choices. And if you want something else, just leave the title and artist with me, and I'll think about it. Here is what I have so far:
This is the Night- Clay Aiken (please don't shoot me people. It's a great song and I like his music.)
A moment like this- Kelly Clarkson
Cry- Mandy Moore (I'm leaning toward this one, because of the whole forever in your eyes thing, which just made me think of another song that might work, but I'm not going to put it as an official choice, because it's not my favorite song in the world, but it is called forever in your eyes by Jessica Simpson, so if anyone wants to vote for that, that's cool with me)
There you were- Jessica Simpson
Only Hope- Mandy Moore
Perfect- Simple Plan
And
Do I have to cry for you- Nick Carter
Those are the official choices, but if you want something else, just say so. Please r/r. I'll try to get the next chapter up ASAP, but seeing as I only just finished this chapter as I was typing it, and I haven't even started to think about chapter 5, it might take awhile. Thank you guys so much. And to my reviewers, I love you guys. You're my inspiration. Thanks again. Until next time, bye.
